Kathmandu - Post Report Question and Answers
Morale among expats:
Varied, though generally high. I think the pollution and developing-world aspects tend to bother people the longer they are here, but most people have a good -- or even a great time. - Jun 2013
Those coming from Paris may find a lot to complain about. If you are coming from a challenging post, there are a lot of positives: great tourist infrastructure, easy to save money, great entertainment options, and an interesting home base on the opposite side of the world from the U.S. - May 2013
Typically very high, although everyone complains about the same things: the pollution, the traffic (which isn't really "traffic" but is more just terrible driving), and the fear of the looming earthquake. - Jun 2011
Very good. - Sep 2010
It seemed great. Most people who can live through Nepal are easy-going and friendly. - Jan 2010
Good for the most part. The long term expats are an extremely unique and interesting bunch. You won't find many places in the world with a group quite like them. Most expats are quite happy and knew they were moving to a developing country. There are some however who don't get a lot of support from their organizations, had unrealistic expectations etc. who are unhappy. - May 2008
